Physical infrastructures, serving as the foundations of society's well‐being and encompassing household and the entire private and public sectors, are the driving force of today's worldwide economic prosperity. This chapter focuses on fault trees and fault‐tree analyses for modeling transportation Complex Systems of Systems (SoS). Transportation is an emergent safety‐critical interdependent and interconnected sector of the economy, which in its essence constitutes Complex SoS. The chapter also focuses primarily on how automobile accidents occur and addresses the broader challenge of quantifying and managing the risk inherent in particular automobile designs and automobiles and the environment within which they operate as Complex SoS. The function of the Vehicle Complex SoS is to physically transport passengers in safety and comfort according to the directional and speed instructions given to it by the driver. Fault‐tree modeling of accident occurrence is an effective framework for describing accident causation in both quantitative and qualitative terms.
